Fair ball all day long.

Nederland off to a hot start winning the drum line battle! 👀👀

After a few years into his tenure at Dayton very very seldom did Stewart get blown out ! Maybe a loss against LK Travis for the region final, pre-district he scheduled big schools like Fort Bend Elkins and Eisenhower and win most times. Several district and regional championships, State final appearance- records that any Dayton coaches since cant even begin to scratch. He used to hold defense coaching clinics where coaches all over the state would attend. He was and an outsider with no buddy or political ties to the local click his only goal was to Win!!!

This is the most entertaining thread of the week so far. 🍿

Players + Coaching + Competition level = Success Any 2 of the 3 can lead to a great year. Maybe not a state championship year, but good year. Just having 1 of the 3 isn't enough. It takes good players.. and it takes preparation/strategy. But that wouldn't be enough in a juggernaut district/region/classification. It happens every two years... Same relative coaching staff, a lot of the same players, but reclassification may turn zeros into heroes or vice versa. Just like I've seen good coaches have mediocre years because of lost talent or even graduation. Or injuries... And not that great of coaches can have pretty good years if they have a lot of talent or are in a weaker level of competition. It's crazy to think that there aren't a lot of variables. But I will never be convinced that all it takes is great coaching. MOST coaches are practicing stuff that is designed to be successful. And MOST coaches are taking stuff from coaches/teams that are successful.

Lmao @Dirty_but_Dazzling you straight up tried to lock this thread because people don’t agree with you… 😂😂

Congrats to the Rangers. The better team won. I can’t figure out what home field advantage is all about. Neither team won at home. Still an Astros fan. That will never change. Will pull for the Texas team to win it all. Best state in the country.

lol, you were hoping to do that, can't blame you. It would have been a mistake to count either team out, but even though I'm an Astros fan, the team with the best chance at winning the WS moved on. Astros have a rally killing dead spot in the lineup that needs to be fixed, the Rangers don't.

Who teaches the players how to block, how to defend the pass, what they are supposed to do in different situations, who inspires them? Oh , that’s right they’re born with that knowledge.

MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!!

Smells like 2011, lets get a different outcome this time, the Texas Rangers are headed back to the World Series!! #GoAndTakeIt   

Rangers were definitely the better team this series

What a terrible night. Stros lose and I lost $20 to my daughter on 49er/Viking game. She took the Vikings but I had to give her 7 points. Looks like that won't matter. Good luck Rangers in the World Series.

Maldy has not “done well” in a long time. That was malpractice on Dusty’s part

Ted Cruz is at the game again. Astros were doomed from the start.

That news is a week old.

It's certainly a mixture. Great players can only overcome so much poor coaching, but in the same breadth, great coaching can only elevate marginal players so far. The players are the most important part, because you'll never win without them, but the coaches will play an important role.

This, you have to have talent, its not strictly Xs and Os. I have seen coaches destroy talent by running the wrong system. IE had spread personnel but brought in the triple option because that's what he likes. A good coach looks at what he has, uses the best system to utilize that talent and then it comes down to how does he relate to them, how does he motivate them, how does he adjust when they study your film and take away what you want to do. A lot of the deeper rounds of playoffs comes down to who can adjust the best when your game plan gets thrown out the window.

here is two examples WOS PNG

No idea who that person is but I need to meet that guy, certified genius IMO. 😎

1 is a known bully 😁

It wasn't a battle, it was camaraderie, per Nederland admin lady on the mic.🤣 But if it would have been a battle, PNG killed it. What beats Housequake? Nothing.

In bold: that's a fact. Been one for a few years now.

If they win, I will be a big Diamondbacks fan for the postseason. Anyone but the Rangers…..looking forward to game 7 of the NLCS.

Maybe they knew something we didn't after 3 seasons with the broncos he is lacking in game leadership and live game management other than that I'm sure he's a nice guy. We don't need nice guys we need proven successful coaches. The superintendent and schoolboard are as much to blame they get plenty of highly qualified candidates and choose politics over winning ( who cares about the fans or players )

Houston should have made a deal with them just to stay in Arlington for games 6 & 7.

"Can't win the Kentucky Derby with a mule." CT

According to the Kelly High School website, it does not say so it's technically no.

Rangers fans….. next year, you can win the division and have home field advantage. Maybe it will play out like this year. lol

Leverett's Chapel is really good.....lol......winner of this one will be the district champion.......

Pulling for the D’backs. Big Sandy grad Ryan Hendrix is in their organization.

I agree they missed so much. Should've never even got to that point. I also thought the last play was a horse collar when I saw it live. But looked clean after reviewing it later.

There will be a lot of cliches and second guesses now Sure would be nice if Altuve could get a dinger on his last at bat And HE did lol

5 more outs.

The Astros winning the 2022 title with Dusty as the manager might be one of the most impressive feats a team has ever accomplished. There’s a reason 4 teams have told this guy to kick rocks. Bochy has managed circles around him.

Going to the 6th, extend the lead!!!

Will Shepard go 4a next realignment?

Don’t need much of a bullpen. The Astros only have 3 or 4 that are capable of getting hits.

Still early 3-1

WB starting QB is out and they plan on playing a Freshman QB off of JV. So BU best chance at beating WB since its inception.

That is strange. Did McDermott transfer? He’s easily the second best player in the region behind Jared and honestly BTW will be better on some nights than last year with addition by subtraction (I.e., those nights when Lewis couldn’t hit the broad side of the barn - he was going to put up his 20 shots whether he was on or not).

I thought about going to this game so I can keep my streak of attending at least one game at that stadium going since it opened. But, nobody offered to pay me to go. Also, I have been told from some local coaches to expect a playoff game or two to be held there this year so I can keep my streak going that way. Now, if someone paid me or at least bought my pregame meal at Pappadeaux's, then I might consider. I got United winning 18-6.

as a kicker, I will say this... if you pass up the opportunity for your kicker to kick 30-40 PATs throughout the year, you better hope like heck you don't end up in a playoff game needing a 25-yd fg to win as time expires.

the only reason I brought it up is because I keep hearing all the astros fans talking about how classless Garcia is for celebrating a home run, while in the same breath acting like Altuve is the flawless messiah of baseball. In that instance, it's worth noting that, despite Altuve being a great player and a great guy, he's done far worse than Garcia has ever done.

Got the W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely not the game should be played at either Nederland or Port Neches UNLESS a hurricane comes along THEN we can play in Pasadena😉

I agree. It really is a dumb idea.

A big problem with moving it is PNG Band gets the profits from visitor side concessions and pretty much the only time they actually make a substantial profit is when MCM is at home and possibly PA Memorial IF we play them preseason cause the Houston area schools MIGHT bring 300 fans COMBINED…..it’s SAD!

Lancaster will be 4th. Lancaster already beat Tyler. Tyler plays Longview and Forney for it's last 2 games. Lancaster plays NM and LP.

What you're going to start seeing more of is families moving their student-athlete kids out of BISD after their 8th grade year is over to avoid all that paperwork mess.
